What are you talking about? A huge chunk of sexual harassment training is about stuff that is perfectly acceptable in non-work environments (asking someone on a date, flirting, etc).
If sexual harassment training was just obvious stuff that needs counseling to fix (e.g. harassing people after having advances declined), then corporations likely wouldn’t need sexual harassment training at all.
It’s mandatory precisely because it’s a bunch of behavior that is completely normal outside of work. Suggesting people get counseling if they feel the urge to ask someone at work out on a date is ridiculous.

[Citation Needed] I'm pretty sure don't take the team out to a strip club as a work outing is always on the training because people keep taking the team out to a strip club.
- glenngillen 5y agoWhich is the point the person you’re replying to is making: Taking people to a strip club is a normal (personal preferences & judgements aside) and legal thing to do… outside of a professional setting. The training is “please don’t do these things at work so we can limit our liability to claims” and not “these are completely unacceptable behaviours so please stop doing them”.
- kortilla 5y agoAre you suggesting that people who go to a strip club need counseling?
- awakeasleep 5y agoAnti harassment training is mandatory because its a requirement for the Farragher-Ellerth defense.
